Like Warm Bodies, In The Flesh features one of the undead as the main protagonist - a "Partially Deceased Syndrome" sufferer named Kieran. The show will focus on his efforts to manage his "condition" and reintegrate himself into society..

Now known as PDS sufferers (Partially Deceased Syndrome) - and since the passing of the PDS Protection act - the government have set an agenda of acceptance and tolerance, one that is at odds with the communities abandoned at the time of the rising, and the bloody battle between zombies and humans that ensued.

A cauldron of brutal anti-zombie sentiment and the source of the 'rotter' hating Human Volunteer Force (HVF), Kieren returns to his home in the rural village of Roarton. Here he is forced to confront his family, the community that rejected him and the flashbacks that continue to haunt him of what he did in his untreated state.

It’s been speculated over the last year that the Showtime serial killer drama was setting up its “end game” and preparing to wrap up the story of Dexter Morgan for good with Season 8.

“Dexter” fans holding their breath for a change of heart will be disappointed to hear that scenario is likely the case.

On a call with investors Monday, CBS president Les Moonves (CBS owns Showtime) seems to have delivered confirmation on the fate of the show, when he referred to this upcoming season of “Dexter,” which premieres in June, as its “last,” according to Broadcasting & Cable.

While that has been presumed for some time, Showtime president David Nevins has yet to officially announce that Season 8 is “Dexter’s” final season, leading viewers and industry observers to speculate that perhaps they were considering an extension.

But with Moonves being the top brass at CBS Corp., one has to assume he knows what he’s talking about. Sorry, “Dexter” fans. Now viewers can obsess over how “Dexter” will go out — Will he finally get caught? Will he get away with it and disappear into the sunset? Will he die? Let the speculation begin!

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) – Billy Rosewood and Axel Foley will get together again.

Judge Reinhold, who played by-the-book law-enforcement officer William “Billy” Rosewood in the “Beverly Hills Cop” movie series, has signed on for a cameo in CBS’s “Beverly Hills Cop” pilot, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.

Eddie Murphy, who’s serving as a producer, will also appear in the pilot, reprising his Axel Foley role.

CBS has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Further details on Reinhold’s role in the pilot or how he will fit into the plot were not available.

The “Beverly Hills Cop” pilot, which comes from “The Shield” creator Shawn Ryan, is a continuation of the movie franchise, centered around Foley’s police officer son, who takes down the criminal elements of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

Sony Television is producing the pilot, which will also star Brandon T. Jackson and Kevin Pollak.

“Underworld: Awakening” and “Downton Abbey” star Theo James will portray leading man Four opposite Shailene Woodley in Summit Entertainment’s upcoming sci-fi action film “Divergent,” adapted by Evan Daugherty ("Snow White and the Huntsman") from the bestselling YA novel of the same name by Veronica Roth.

Roth’s novel, set in a dystopian Chicago, concerns a futuristic society in which individuals who do not fit easily into certain personality types are labelled as “divergent.” Shailene Woodley, nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” will star as Tris Prior, one such Divergent who unveils a mass conspiracy to destroy the titular group. Hailing from a group called the Dauntless, Four is the charismatic instructor who aids her in her quest.

28-year-old James played a role in the first season of “Downton Abbey,” and has since enjoyed increasing success as David in 2012’s “Underworld: Awakening” and the leading role in CBS’s new crime drama, “Golden Boy.”

Lionsgate co-chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger, who brought the YA “Twilight” saga to the screen with blockbuster results at Summit before their company was acquired by Lionsgate, purchased the rights to the book last October. They stated: “Theo is not only an incredibly talented actor, he is also who we envisioned as Four when reading Veronica’s novel which has taken the world by storm.”

“Divergent,” to be directed by Neil Burger ("The Illusionist," "Limitless") stands to be another young adult-oriented box-office hopeful for Lionsgate, which spawned the hugely successful “The Hunger Games.” Here's TOH's round-up of upcoming YA movies.

"Divergent" is slated for North American wide release on March 21, 2014.

Moore (Battlestar Galactica), Lynda Obst (Sleepless in Seattle, Contact), Steven Maeda (Lost, CSI: Miami, The X-Files) and Cameron Porsandeh, who wrote the pilot, will serve as Co-Executive Producer.

Richard Griffiths, the veteran British character actor best known for playing the heartless Uncle Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter movies, has died. He was 65.

According to Sky News , Griffiths passed away on Thursday from complications following heart surgery.

His Harry Potter costars remembered him as a kind and gentle mentor with a gift for storytelling.

Daniel Radcliffe, who played the titular boy magician, paid tribute to Griffiths, who was there the first day he set foot on the set of the fantasy franchise.

"In August 2000, before official production had even begun on Potter, we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first-ever shot as Harry," said Radcliffe in a statement. "I was nervous, and he made me feel at ease."

He continued: "Seven years later, we embarked on Equus together. It was my first time doing a play, but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy. In fact, any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence. I am proud to say I knew him."

"Sad news today. What a beautiful man. Beautiful actor. Thoughts and love to anyone who was lucky enough to have listened to one his stories," tweeted Melling.

Aside from earning fame in Harry Potter, Griffiths was perhaps best known Stateside for such movies as Chariots of Fire, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Gandhi, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, Withnail and I, Goldeneye and The Naked Gun 2 1/2, among many others.

He also made forays into television, most notably starring in the mid-'90s BBC series Pie In the Sky playing a detective turned chef.

Griffiths' stage work was just as memorable. Perhaps his most famous performance was playing teacher Hector in Alan Bennett's The History Boys, for which he accomplished the rather rare feat of winning a Tony Award in New York and an Olivier Award in London. He later went on to reprise the role in a 2006 big-screen version and was honored with an OBE in 2008 for his services to drama.

Last year, the portly actor appeared with Danny DeVito in Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys at London's Savoy Theatre and was slated to headline a Los Angeles version of the production, set for September.

Hogwarts will meet Who in the forthcoming TV movie An Adventure in Space and Time, which details the creation of the 50-year-old British science-fiction show Doctor Who. It has been announced that Harry Potter actor David Bradley, who played Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch in the beloved film series, will portray “First Doctor” William Hartnell in the TV movie.

Meanwhile, Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity) is set to portray BBC Head of Drama Sydney Newman and Jessica Raine has been cast as Doctor Who producer Verity Lambert. BBC America — which is co-producing the film with BBC Cymru Wales — will premiere the movie in the U.S. later this year.

An Adventure in Space and Time is being directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad) and written by Mark Gatiss, who has penned several episodes of Doctor Who since its successful revival in 2005, as well as co-creating, and starring in the amazingly bizarre BBC sitcom League of Gentlemen. The movie will be executive produced by Gatiss and current Who exec producers Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner.

“It’s a lovely story about very fascinating characters,” Skinner says. “There are lots of witty and entertaining stories about the genesis of Doctor Who which say quite a lot about what the early ‘60s in Britain was like. But it’s also a very personal story about William Hartnell and Verity Lambert and their relationship being forged in the making of what turned out to be a sensational hit show that we’re still watching today.”

As previously announced, BBC America will premiere the second half of the current season of Doctor Who on March 30.

According to TV Line, producer J.J. Abrams has hired Karl Urban - who previously worked with the busy director/producer on 2009's Star Trek- to star in his latest television pilot, Human. The Fox drama, penned by J.H. Wyman (Fringe), is a futuristic thriller that "is being billed as an action-packed buddy cop show set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids." Urban, who will reprise his role as Bones McCoy in this summer's Star Trek Into Darkness, will play 'John Kennex', "a respected police officer who has shut down emotionally after a tragic mission left him critically injured. He is paired with Dorian (Common Law‘s Michael Ealy), an android detective who, ironically, has a better grasp of humanity than he does." Minka Kelly, Lili Taylor, Michael Irby and Mackenzie Crook also star.

Today the BBC have released various photos previewing the returning episodes of it's popular British sci-fi show Doctor Who.The images released are primarily from the first of the new episodes, 'The Bells Of St.John', although some also reveal scenes from episodes two, three and four of the new run.

The BBC is today announcing that Matt Smith is to leave Doctor Who after four incredible years on the hit show. Matt first stepped into the TARDIS in 2010 and will leave the role at the end of this year after starring in the unmissable 50th Anniversary in November and regenerating in the Christmas special. During his time as the Doctor, Matt has reached over 30 million unique UK viewers and his incarnation has seen the show go truly global. He was also the first actor to be nominated for a BAFTA in the role. Doctor Who is BBC AMERICA’s highest-rated series and premieres as part of the channel’s Supernatural Saturday programming block.

Matt quickly won over fans to be voted Best Actor by Readers of Doctor Who Magazine for the 2010 season. He also received a nod for his first series at the National Television Awards, before winning the Most Popular Male Drama Performance award in 2012. Matt has played one of the biggest roles in TV with over 77 million fans in the UK, US and Australia alone!

Matt Smith says: “Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show. I’m incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day, to realize all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience. Many of them have become good friends and I’m incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years.

Having Steven Moffat as showrunner write such varied, funny, mind-bending and brilliant scripts has been one of the greatest and most rewarding challenges of my career. It’s been a privilege and a treat to work with Steven, he’s a good friend and will continue to shape a brilliant world for the Doctor.

The fans of Doctor Who around the world are unlike any other; they dress up, shout louder, know more about the history of the show (and speculate more about the future of the show) in a way that I’ve never seen before, your dedication is truly remarkable. Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number Eleven, who I might add is not done yet, I’m back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special!

It’s been an honor to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the TARDIS for a spell with ‘the ginger, the nose and the impossible one’. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go and Trenzalore calls. Thank you guys. Matt.”

Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, says: “Every day, on every episode, in every set of rushes, Matt Smith surprised me: the way he’d turn a line, or spin on his heels, or make something funny, or out of nowhere make me cry, I just never knew what was coming next. The Doctor can be clown and hero, often at the same time, and Matt rose to both challenges magnificently. And even better than that, given the pressures of this extraordinary show, he is one of the nicest and hardest-working people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whatever we threw at him – sometimes literally – his behavior was always worthy of the Doctor.

But great actors always know when it’s time for the curtain call, so this Christmas prepare for your hearts to break, as we say goodbye to number Eleven. Thank you Matt – bow ties were never cooler.

Of course, this isn’t the end of the story, because now the search begins. Somewhere out there right now – all unknowing, just going about their business – is someone who’s about to become the Doctor. A life is going to change, and Doctor Who will be born all over again! After 50 years, that’s still so exciting!”

Having starred alongside three different companions, Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) and most recently Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman), Matt’s Doctor has fought Daleks and Cybermen, as well as Weeping Angels in New York. Regularly heard shouting ‘run’ and ‘Geronimo’, through Matt’s Doctor fans have been introduced to a new culinary combination – fish fingers and custard!

Matt’s spectacular exit is yet to be revealed and will be kept tightly under wraps. He will return to BBC AMERICA in the unmissable 50th anniversary episode on Saturday, November 23, 2013 – TUNE IN!

We've see quite a bit of concept art from Bong Joon-ho‘s highly-anticipated Hollywood debut - which is based on French graphic novel Le Transperceneige - now check out the first official pic featuring Joon-ho regular Song Kang-ho (Memories of Murder, The Host)..

Snowpiercer is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.

Sony has hired ARROW show runner, Greg Berlanti, to helm their upcoming robo-revolution film EPSILON. The film is described as being set in a world where robots have taken refuge on a space station after a failed revolution on Earth, which is strangely absent of most electrically powered devices. The robots begin raising humans for experimentation and condition them to act as their agents. Conflict arises when the primary character "is a man who discovers he is more human than he thought".

Berlanti has several credits including executive producer and showrunner for ARROW and the CW's upcoming remake of TOMORROW PEOPLE. Berlanti also wrote for movies GREEN LANTERN and WRATH OF THE TITANS. EPSILON is to be produced by Jonathan Kadin and written by ZOMBIELAND scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

CBS has today announced its summer schedule, including the premiere date of the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's Under the Dome. Last year, we learned that the network had ordered a 13-episode season and that both Brian K. Vaughan and Niels Arden Oplev were attached along with Neal Baer (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) as showrunner. It will make its debut on Monday, June 24 in the 10PM slot. At this point, it's unclear whether this will be a 13-episode adaptation of the lengthy novel or simply just be based on it.

Nica (Fiona Dourif) is grieving over the gruesome suicide of her mother when her domineering older sister Barb (Danielle Bisutti) arrives with her young family in tow to help settle their mother’s affairs. As the sisters butt heads over Nica’s plans for the future, Barb’s young daughter comforts herself with a grinning, red-haired talking doll named Chucky (Brad Dourif) that recently arrived mysteriously in the mail. But as a string of brutal murders begins to terrorize the household, Nica suspects the doll may hold the key to the bloodshed. What she doesn’t know is that Chucky has a personal score to settle. He’s determined to finish a job he started more than 20 years earlier, and this time he’s going to see it through to the bloody and shocking end.

Doctor Who TV has received many messages today from excited readers who believe they have found a leaked trailer for the 50th Anniversary special.

The trailer in question (you can see below) was released earlier today by Youtube user, John Smith (appropriately). Ever since then it has spread across the net with many convinced it is the real deal.

While it is incredibly well produced and edited, it is also 100% fake. Look carefully and you will recognise familiar shots lifted from past episodes such as The End of Time, The Rings of Akhaten and Hide. They’ve been cleverly spliced with CGI trickery to create something so real.

Still enjoy it now because we’ll be waiting a while yet for a real one. Perhaps something will be released at Comic Con next month if we’re really lucky.

Signing up to direct the upcoming Doc Savage adaptation after the highly successful Iron Man 3, Shane Black recently spoke to Collider about the 1930's setting in which the film will take place, and what the character means to him.

We’re shooting it as though it’s in the 30s, including all the Capra-esque elements of 1930s films like You Can’t Take It With You. The idea of ‘What if Jimmy Stewart were a stone-cold killer?’ basically. It’s that kind of combination which we enjoy. Doc Savage is a personal film to me. It’s a 1930s pulp character so it hasn’t been around for 75 years or so, but people if they’re introduced to it they’ll get to know, hopefully, what I came to love as a kid. I’ve read those series for 43 years and always wanted to figure out how to crack it.

No release date has been confirmed for the upcoming project, but due to Black's love for the classic hero, it wouldn't be a surprise if we got some news soon regarding shooting dates and such. Stay tuned.

Australian television and film star Joel Edgerton, who audiences will recognize from THE GREAT GATSBY and ZERO DARK THIRTY, has been cast to join Michael Shannon (who played maniacal villain General Zod in MAN OF STEEL) in an unnamed science fiction film directed by Jeff Nichols.

Nichols, who has directed films SHOOTGUN STORIES, TAKE SHELTER and MUD, is developing a "contemporary-set, sci-fi chase movie". Nichols told Empire, "I really want to make a certain kind of movie... it's like a sub-genre movie, a chase film". He added,"I like working in genre and subverting it - I think each of my films has been a genre film that you dismantle - and I'm trying to do the same thing here. I'm putting the focus on the characters, rather than the genre elements".
